HC Deb 08 April 1946 vol 421 c251W
52. Major Wise

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that productive wheat and potato land in the parishes of Terrington St. Clements, and Clenchwarton, Norfolk, has recently been purchased or rented at high figures by bulb merchants and is now being used for bulb growing; and if, in view of the present food situation, he will give instructions that direction orders should be served upon the present occupiers so that the land may again be used for food production for human consumption.

Mr. T. Williams

I have made inquiries and understand that the proportion of land devoted to bulbs on the two farms referred to in the Question is very small. I do not consider that further directions are necessary in these cases.
